There in the north upon the Fals River sits Thornward, once the capital of the March. Today it is policed by the armies of four different nations, each acting to maintain an uneasy peace and ensure this busy trade port continues to run smoothly. But with so many rivalries so close together, this is easier said than done.

Luckily the Covenant of the Shield and Coin, one of the oldest and most storied adventurer guilds on Oerth, has been given charter in the city, and adventurers begin to stream in from across the Flanaess. Whether to help with the mundane like policing the streets or traveling farther afield to assist rebuilding border outposts, there is no shortage of work for capable and the brave.
